On a PICK-4 Selection Slip mark one digit (from 0 to 9) in each of the four columns on up to five boards. Or ask for a Quick Pick and the lottery terminal will randomly select your numbers.
There are two ways to play this Keno game.
- One is Straight play where to win players must match the four-digit number drawn in exact order.
- Second is Box play where to win, players must match the four-digit number drawn in any order. For Box Play, the digits you select determine whether the 4-Way, 6-Way, 12-Way or 24-Way Box Play applies.
In the box provided on the Pick 4 ticket, mark either Straight Play or Box Play. Determine how many consecutive draws to play (up to 10 draws, starting with the current draw).
For Box Play, the digits you select determine which Box Play prize category you are eligible for (4-Way, 6-Way, 12-Way or 24-Way Box Play) Only one Box Play type will apply per draw. Box Play can be won four different ways:
- 4 Way Box – Match all 4 digits in any order, where 3 of the digits are the same (e.g. 1112)
- 6 Way Box – Match all 4 digits in any order, where two sets of digits are the same (e.g. 1122)
- 12 Way Box – Match all 4 digits in any order, where 2 of the digits are the same (e.g. 1123)
- 24 Way Box – Match all 4 digits in any order, where all 4 digits are different (eg.1234)
There is also a slipless play in this game where you can tell your lottery retailer the number you want to play with PICK-2, PICK-3 and PICK-4 and he or she will enter it for you on your ticket. Ensure you check your ticket selections immediately for accuracy.
You can play up to five sets of four numbers on each ticket, whether by QUICK PICK or selection slip, and can play up to 10 draws in advance.
You can also add encore to your ticket by spending $1 to play bonus game where you get a chance to win $1 million.
Just ask your lottery retailer to include ENCORE on Quick Picks with your host game. Or mark how many ENCORE you want to play (1-10) on your Selection Slip.
Encore is available only for Ontario residents and cash prizes are for matching left to right, right to left, or a combination of both. Overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 9.17.
The PICK-4 numbers are drawn by ball drop using the same Ryo Catteau ball machines that we use for PICK-3 and ENCORE. One ball machine will be loaded with one set of balls numbered from 0 to 9. After a ball is dropped and the digit recorded the ball is reloaded and another drop takes place to create the next digit of the winning number. For PICK-3 there are three ball drops. Therefore for PICK-4 there will be four separate ball drops.
To win the prize money of CA$5000 all four digits must match the digits drawn in the order they’re drawn.
